Home is Everything!
As a lifelong resident of Greater Vancouver's charming suburb of Coquitlam, I am deeply rooted in this community. Born and raised here, I have chosen Coquitlam as my "Home" to raise my family, with all five of my children proudly educated through our excellent local school system.
Since 1997, I have had the pleasure of working as a full-time Realtor, passionately showcasing unique qualities that make the Lower Mainland such a wonderful place to live. With nearly three decades of experience, my business has thrived predominantly through referrals from satisfied clients and friends, leading various community initiatives, and my short-term rental business. Additionally, my expertise in Internet marketing has allowed me to reach a broader audience, helping even more people discover the beauty of our communities.
My commitment to this area extends beyond real estate. I love engaging in the community as much as I love showcasing it! Aside from helping people find their dream homes, you can find me at a pottery wheel in Port Moody, gardening with the Coquitlam River Community Gardens, kayaking local waterways, travelling to exciting destinations, or spending quality time with my family.
With a strong foundation in customer-oriented work ethics, leadership and marketing skills, and location expertise, I offer knowledgeable and friendly service in all aspects of buying and selling residential real estate and investment properties. While I serve the entire Lower Mainland, my primary focus is on the neighbourhoods of Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, and the bordering areas of Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, New Westminster, and Burnaby. If you are considering buying or selling outside the Lower Mainland, I am connected to a vast network of professionals locally and globally. I am happy to connect you with a Realtor who will meet your needs and ensure a seamless experience.
I love engaging with various individuals and learning their stories the same way I love homes and their uniqueness. My passion lies in helping people understand and enjoy the process of home buying and selling, attentively listening to their needs, and providing professional service to match clients and their life goals with the perfect future home. I specialize in educating and assisting first-time home buyers, guiding people through upsizing or downsizing, handling purchases and sales of investment and vacation properties, and supporting families with senior loved ones transitioning into comfortable and suitable new homes. With a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation, I work compassionately and efficiently to make challenging transitions easier for everyone involved. My goal is to ensure that every move is a positive and rewarding experience.
I am blessed to have a career doing what I love: helping people attain the warmth and peace of mind that accompanies finding "Home" in this beautiful part of the world.
